DIY Mosquito Treatment Options Trusted Pest Control Serving Central TN
Serving Central Tennessee
The internet offers dozens of DIY mosquito treatment options, but which ones can you trust to work? Not all of these methods are equally helpful in combating these pesky insects, while some may work in certain situations but not others.
So, is it possible to get rid of mosquitoes yourself? If not, what should you do? What should you know about DIY mosquito treatments?
Let’s get this out of the way immediately: Some outdoor mosquito infestations are so deeply embedded in a landscape that DIY mosquito treatment won’t work. The best you’ll be able to do is reduce mosquito populations, but even then, they’re likely to return when the next lifecycle regenerates.Â

Essential oils are useful for many things – is mosquito repellant one of them? Maybe.Â
Lavender oil, citronella oil, and other strong scents can disorient insects and make it more challenging for them to locate you. However, essential oils are not as effective as an EPA-registered repellent. Also, note that essential oils only work to repel mosquitoes for a few hours at a time.
If you want to try to make a DIY mosquito spray, dilute the essential oils with water and perform a patch test on your skin to make sure you’re not allergic.
Natural remedies can keep mosquitoes at bay for short periods of time – and they may even kill off a small number of insects. But if it’s a stubborn infestation that won’t go away, nothing works better than professional mosquito control.Â
Experts know how to use the mosquitoes’ biology against them to disrupt their life cycle – and unfortunately, that’s a process that takes more than essential oils.
